Long Island Cheat Sheet: Deadline again extended for Nassau Coliseum proposals

Deadline again extended for Nassau Coliseum proposals
After receiving a handful of responses, Nassau County officials have again pushed a deadline for developers to submit proposals for the Nassau Hub Innovation District, a 70-acre parking lot near the Coliseum. The deadline had been July 20, but was then extended to Aug. 3 and now Aug. 17. Officials said the extension was to “keep the door open” for prospective developers. Some of the proposals already submitted include a mixed-use office campus with restaurants and multifamily housing. While some ideas already put forward fall within the current zoning for housing in the area, which allows for 500 residential units, others are pushing for zoning changes allowing for more units, in order to make the project viable. [LIBN]

Group of local developers lobby to change state-issued IDA criteria for affordable housing
Developers want the state to re-examine how it reviews housing projects that get tax breaks from Industrial Development Agencies, which they feel undermine the construction of affordable units, Newsday reported. A coalition of developers called the Association for a Better Long Island have asked the Authorities Budget Office that, going forward, IDA-supported projects be based on the number of units created, not the number of jobs created. The developers argue that demand for these units has surged recently and by focusing on jobs, the rules ignore this demand and could the hamper local economies they aim to help. [Newsday]
